Without knowing the date code, it was made late 50's early 60's. It is not a special run or an F grade model. They produced pumps and semis with the engraved receiver for a few years. Bear on the left, running dear on the right. It is a still a good find when you run across one. They don't bring a premium $$$ for them either like a custom shop F grade either. :D
It is NOT unethical to shoot at running deer. That's hunting!!
